After days of speculation about a rumored relationship between Gloria James and LeBron James’ teammate Delonte West, Hall of Fame Rockets player Calvin Muphy said the story was true in a radio interview in Houston with an ESPN affiliate according to Deadspin.

“It ain’t no rumor,” Calvin Murphy said. “Unfortunately, my sources in the NBA tell me that it’s absolutely true. My sources, and they’re legit, tell me the only people that didn’t know it was happening was LeBron and me.”

“And let me tell you something. Delonte West now is one of these players now that is going to get what they call the old proverbial black ball…I could not imagine me being in that situation and him still being on my team cause one of us is going to be dead and the other one is going to be in jail.”

Although Calvin Murphy has questionable character given his background, his comments certainly make you wonder if this story has some legs. It would certainly give some explanation for LeBron James’ playoff performances.

In light of Murphy’s comments, do you believe LeBron James will stay in Cleveland or has he already packed (and maybe his mom’s) bags?
